Thank you for that post.
You’re correct that there are indeed true disciples of Christ in this nation, just as Noah and his family were righteous when the rest of mankind were so evil that God destroyed them. And just as Lot and his family (minus his wife) were saved from the destruction of Sodom. And just as Daniel and Ezekiel and others were saved from the repeated destructions of Israel.
A recurring theme of the Bible is that “only a remnant shall be saved.” Those who would call America “a Christian nation” haven’t learned this yet. They seem to have forgotten that “wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many there be that go in thereat.” They’ve forgotten that Jesus was murdered by the many. While they remember that Jesus commanded his apostles to “go therefore and make disciples”, they forget that He also warned them that they would be rejected, perecuted and killed. They’ve forgotten Paul’s warning to the Ephesians that, even in their own church, “grievous wolves shall enter in among you, not sparing the flock.”
Any student/learner/disciple will see very quickly what Jesus meant by “few there be that find it”.
Excellent post.
I believe the church has at some point got to stand up but unfortunately too many non-Christians make up a part of the congregations who play churchianity....the numbers needed then are not enough to withstand the onslaught...let alone the will to fight for righteousness. It's become all inclusive or none at all.
